CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Students who are strong in the visual-spatial learning style enjoy school activities such as art, drafting, shop, geometry, computer graphics, and computer-assisted design. They often have an excellent visual memory for details in print and in the environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -The following strategies have been found to be effective in teaching children with visual-spatial strengths: ∎ Use visual aids such as document cameras, flip charts, and visual imagery in lectures. ∎ Use manipulative materials to allow hands-on experience. ∎ Use a sight approach to reading as well as phonics.

Detailed explanation-3: -A visual-spatial learner is a student who learns holistically rather than in a step-by-step fashion. Visual imagery plays an important role in the student’s learning process. Because the individual is processing primarily in pictures rather than words, ideas are interconnected (imagine a web).

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four common types of spatial abilities which include spatial or visuo-spatial perception, spatial visualization, mental folding and mental rotation. Each of these abilities have unique properties and importance to many types of tasks whether in certain jobs or everyday life.
